Bernie Sanders promises to free half a million prisoners in first term

Sen. Bernie Sanders vowed during the latest Democratic debate to dramatically reduce America's prison population in his first four years in office.

It’s unclear how Sanders plans to empty American prisons by half a million people, since the president and federal government preside over only a fraction of the total prison population

Bernie Sanders promises to free half a million prisoners in first term

Probably this...

The pro-reform Drug Policy Alliance estimates that when you combine state and local spending on everything from drug-related arrests to prison, the total cost adds up to at least $51 billion per year. Over four decades, the group says, American taxpayers have dished out $1 trillion on the drug war.

What all that money has helped produce -- aside from unchanged drug addiction rates -- is the world's highest incarceration rate. According to the Sentencing Project, 2.2 million Americans are in prison or jail.

More than half of federal prisoners are incarcerated for drug crimes in 2010, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, and that number has only just dipped below 50 percent in 2011. Despite more relaxed attitudes among the public at large toward non-violent offenses like marijuana use, the number of people in federal prison for drug offenses spiked from 74,276 in 2000 to 97,472 in 2010, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

The punishment falls disproportionately on people of color. Blacks make up 50 percent of the state and local prisoners incarcerated for drug crimes. Black kids are 10 times more likely to be arrested for drug crimes than white ones -- even though white kids are more likely to abuse drugs.

What's funny about this is that the right will demonize every welfare program, claiming that they are all massive failures. What do they use to back this up? Statistics on poverty rates.... claiming the high numbers of people that are still poor despite the huge amounts of money we spend on them are proof that welfare doesn't affect poverty rates in this country. But when one uses the exact same logic as an argument to end the drug war, they argue the exact opposite.... saying that drugs are a scourge on society and should be fought no matter what the cost. Too bad they don't feel the same way about poverty.

I don't know any conservative who thinks we shouldn't fight poverty. The question is how we do it. A growing economy with opportunities for all that creates competition for workers and rising wages, eliminating financial incentives to not work and have lots of babies out of wedlock, and yes, fighting drugs because people who do a lot of drugs are generally not too well off financially.

No Joke: Trump Can Win Plenty of Latinos

A new poll of Latino GOPers puts Trump ahead. Way ahead

Latinos for Trump? Oh yeah, that’s a thing.

38 percent of Latinos favor Trump. Ted Cruz got 15 percent. Jeb Bush pulled in 14 percent. And Marco Rubio, the guy who’s supposed to be the one who could unite the party and win? Just 8 percent.

Agree. Social programs don't fight poverty. They feed it. The poor people would need to join the fight, and the policies would really hurt a lot of feelings if the goal was truly to "fight poverty" rather than argue over how much money we should be giving them. Our society does not have the stomach for a real war on poverty, and politicians get too many votes from that condition to ever do anything about it.

If you think that the purpose of welfare is to affect poverty rates, then it will always be a total failure. You can't government spend people out of poverty, but apparently you can make it not so bad there. It was supposed to be a safety net while people got back on their feet (through their own efforts). It has become a fairly stable government supported economic class now, with about 47 million people on food stamps.

Regardless, it sounds like you are looking for some consistency in the logic around throwing public money at ineffective programs?

They're worried about a candidate that is as evil as they are maybe ?

Negotiating

When Trump purchased and rebuilt Mar-A-Lago, the grand mansion and estate in Palm Beach, Florida, he got into a dispute with the city fathers who are well known for being strict on zoning regulations. Trump put up a 50-foot flag pole even though 30 feet is the maximum allowed.

The city imposed a $1,000 per day fine while Trump and city officials argued back and forth.

Finally, when the fine had reached a total of $120,000 Trump proposed a solution. He would donate that amount to veteran's organizations, would move the flag to a different spot in front of the mansion, and would only use a 30 foot flagpole.

The city agreed. So Trump brought in the company that does his golf course construction, had them build a 20-foot high grassy hill, and put the 30-foot flag pole on top of that.

Now, would you rather have Trump negotiating an Iranian deal/any deal or Hillary.... ?

Key Points

1.The typical poor household, as defined by the government, has a car and air conditioning, two color televisions, cable or satellite TV, a DVD player, and a VCR. If there are children, especially boys, the family has a game system, such as an Xbox or PlayStation.

2.In the kitchen, the household has a refrigerator, an oven and stove, and a microwave. Other household conveniences include a clothes washer, clothes dryer, ceiling fans, a cordless phone, and a coffee maker.

3.The home of the typical poor family is in good repair and is not overcrowded. In fact, the typical average poor American has more living space in his home than the average (non-poor) European has.

4.By its own report, the typical poor family was not hungry, was able to obtain medical care when needed, and had sufficient funds during the past year to meet all essential needs.

Post debate poll:

 

[deljzc]

Other than Christie, I think the GOP candidates are mostly staying away from the Drug War.

I think the GOP platform has evolved into letting states do what the **** they want on the drug legalization and have the federal government stay out of it. The GOP seems open to voting against some of the draconian minimum sentences from back in the 1980's.

What I do hear (and I agree with) is until the law is actually CHANGED, you still have to enforce the law. This growing "picking and choosing" which laws to enforce or not enforce based on my political position on a matter is bullshit. The executive branch of government does not gain the right to decide I don't want to enforce this law because the opposite party voted for it 10 years ago or 20 years ago.

If Trump tries to tattoo Muslims, I'm pretty sure congress won't vote for it and I'm pretty sure courts won't uphold it. But how about at least following the immigration laws we have on the books? Is that so ******* hard?

A criminal is still a criminal. Black, white, green, yellow.... until the law it changed, you get caught, you get arrested, you get sentenced.... that should all still be happening.

Donald Trump Blasted By Carlos Santana And Other Latinos
http://samuel-warde.com/2016/02/carlos-santana-and-other-latinos-speak-out-against-gop-bigotry/

Rolling Stone reports that “An army of Latino celebrities have signed a letter imploring their fellow Latino voters not to support Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush or any other major Republican candidate.”

There was a total of 22 signatories to the letter, including: Yancey Arias, Esteban Benito, Benjamin Bratt, Peter Bratt, Raúl Castillo, Ivonne Coll, Wilson Cruz, Giselle Fernandez, America Ferrera, Mike Gomez, Lisa Guerrero, Dolores Huerta, Eva LaRue, George Lopez, Rick Najera, José-Luis Orozco, Aubrey Plaza, Steven Michael Quezada, Judy Reyes, Zoe Saldana, Miguel Sandoval, Carlos Santana, Lauren Vélez.

The letter was posted online by non-profit progressive advocacy group People for the American Way and hits hard at Donald Trump in particular.

“In this year’s 2016 Republican presidential primary, the candidates crossed a line. In trying to win the nomination, every one of the leading candidates dug themselves into a deep hole pandering to the anti-immigrant base of the Republican Party that idolizes Donald Trump,” the letter begins.

The letter continues, stating that: “Of course, this downward spiral began with Trump. From accusing Mexicans of being rapists to kicking Jorge Ramos out of his press conference, Trump has spent the entirety of his presidential bid stoking unfounded anti-immigrant fears and deeply offending our communities.”

Turning to address Latinos directly, the letter warns: “We must not, though, let Trump’s xenophobia overshadow the extreme policies being pushed by every single one of the GOP’s leading presidential candidates. Latinos should understand that Donald Trump embodies the true face of the entire Republican Party. Sadly, he speaks for the GOP’s anti-immigrant, anti-Latino agenda.”
